All,
Anybody having any suggestions regarding installing RH7.1? I just got
hold of the complete CD set and want to upgrade my systems on Wednesday.
Currently I am using 6.2 (have all latest fixes) and I want to upgrade to 7.1.
What do I need to be aware of?
Any drawbacks?
The install guide says that the new kernel is more aggressive regarding swap
space, whats a good value?
The last time I did an upgrade (from 5.x to 6.1) the installer had
its "own understanding" of what should be in /etc/rc.d/init.d and
overwrote a lot of my scripts (saving the old ones with *.rpmsave), is it
still doing this???
2 of the machines are firewalls, how good is the firewall config util?
Anybody tested it? (I use my own shell scripts in init.d to set it up)
On another note:
Has anyone tried "Partition Magic 5.01" with Linux partitions?
OK to use?? Other options???
jobst
PS: Dont start a distro war, please. I made a decision to use RH a few years
back and I stick with that.
